Game 27: Stars vs. Coyotes

Dallas is 10-12-4 (10-16, adjusted) and Phoenix is 12-13-2 (12-15, adjusted). I know the Stars have been doing better than usual lately... but I will tell you... I just can't say that they will win. So... uh... don't expect me to say that they will when you get to the forecast.

These guys are going to tear up the Stars. That's just how I feel about it, at least until the Stars roll off ten in a row.

Goalie Comparrison

Name	Games (Starts)	Record	GAA	SV%
Marty Turco	24 (24)	9-11-4	3.38	.876
Ilya Bryzgalov	21 (21)	8-11-2	2.99	.902

Phoenix has the better goalie... I think. Well, save percentage and GAA is at least better, so there you go. That's enough for me.

Forecast: Phoenix wins it 3-2 in overtime.
